Leopoldo Bertossi at LINDA 2026

📅 Friday, July 24 | 3:00 PM

The IMFD Researcher and academic at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, will be an Invited Speaker at the workshop “Logical Approaches to Handling Inconsistent Data” (LINDA), which will be held alongside the Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning conference (KR’2026) as part of the Federated Logic conference (FLoC’2026), in Lisbon, Portugal.

The LINDA workshop aims to bring together groups of researchers from different communities who are interested in developing principled logic-based methods for tackling inconsistent data, in order to share recent advances, discuss open challenges, and exchange experiences. A non-exhaustive list of topics in the scope of the workshop is the following:

– Database and knowledge base repairs

– Onconsistency-tolerant semantics (e.g. repair-based and paraconsistent semantics)

– Inconsistency measures

– Explanations of inconsistencies or query answers over inconsistent data

– Incorporating qualitative or quantitative preferences

– Probabilistic, possibilistic, and neuro-symbolic approaches to handling inconsistent data

– Inconsistency handling for temporal and/or spatial data

– Handling other forms of imperfect data (e.g. incompleteness, imprecision, uncertainty, entity resolution)

– Connections to other KR areas (e.g. argumentation, logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning)

– Implementations of inconsistency handling approaches
